Re: [riena-dev] Riena UI

[Christian Campo <christian.campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ekke,

of course we sorry that the new concept does with your ideas of the layout of the application but I understand your decision. We will continue to work on make pieces of Riena available to people like you who dont buy in the whole concept but rather only like to use pieces of it.

If you decide to use regular RCP then you certainly can also create normal views and edit them with SWTDesigner. All you need is a functionality to easily create a set of ridgets for a set of widgets. I will discuss that tonight and keep you posted....We will supply such a functionality. It would probably make sense to seperate view and controller but it shouldnt be mandatory for using ridgets. In your concept you are free to already start using SWTDesigner and create your views. The ridget stuff can be added later.

As I said I keep you posted on how you will be able to create ridgets from widgets. That functionality for RCP does not yet exist.

Hi Christian,

after some internal discussions we have decided not to use the Riena UI - its too rigoros for us.

we need
* views maximized for the whole screen overlapping the navigator
* more then one view opened and dragndrop between them
* left view should not only reserved for navigations

I understand that your concept is easy-to-use, non-confusing the user, but we need some more flexibility - I would say for 30% of the users.
the rest could live with your concept, but the 30% are the most important ones ;-)

but I like all the Riena-concepts around the UI:

-databinding -validation - markers

now the interesting point for me is how this can be used if the UI is more classical RCP and designed with SWT designer

so I'm happy for all documentation, tips, tricks etc I can get

perhaps I have to make some decisions / restrictions if using SWT Designer to get it later run with the cool Riena ridgets / validation / databinding / markers

thanks again - Riena is a great tool
